Title: Method and apparatus for reducing blowline obstructions during production of cellulosic composites
Inventor: HARMON DAVID M
IPC: D21B1/14
Filed: 1996-02-02
Abstract: An apparatus and method are described that allow for the continuous production of cellulosic products produced using reactive binder compositions by significantly reducing or substantially eliminating obstructions of the blowline.  A binder application assembly is used to apply binder compositions to the cellulosic materials in the blowline.  The application assembly generally is plumbed to the blowline at an obtuse angle and at a position adjacent the blowline outlet.  The application assembly includes an air sheath that defines a conduit through which a binder applicator passes.  Preferred embodiments of the invention also include a binder-diluent mixer that is operatively coupled to the binder applicator.  The binder-diluent mixer includes a binder inlet for receiving a first stream containing a binder, a diluent inlet for receiving a second stream containing a diluent, and an inline mixer that is fluidly connected to the binder inlet and the diluent inlet to produce a mixed stream. The mixed stream is conveyed to the binder applicator and is applied to the cellulosic material in the blowline.  The mixer may include supplemental inlets for receiving supplemental materials that are useful for producing cellulosic products.  The method comprises conveying cellulosic material in a blowline and through a blowline outlet that is positioned inside an inlet portion of a dryer.  Binder is applied to the cellulosic material in the blowline using the binder application assembly.

Title: Identification and use of antiviral compounds
Inventor: PALESE PETER
IPC: C12Q1/70
Filed: 1995-05-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of host cell proteins that interact with viral proteins required for virus replication, and high throughput assays to identify compounds that interfere with the specific interaction between the viral and host cell protein. Interfering compounds that inhibit viral replication can be used therapeutically to treat viral infection. The invention is based, in part, on the Applicants' discovery of novel interactions between proteins of the influenza virus and human host cell proteins. One of these host cell proteins, referred to herein as NPI-1, interacts with influenza virus protein NP, and may be an accessory protein required for replication of influenza virus. Another of these host cell proteins, referred to herein as NS1I-1, interacts with influenza virus protein NS1. Compounds that interfere with the binding of the host cell and viral proteins, and inhibit viral replication can be useful for treating viral infection in vivo.
